How to Fix the ‘Invalid Session’ Error in Minecraft ❗❓🔧

Hello PixelHost users! 🚀 In this guide, we’ll show you some methods to fix the "Invalid Session" error in Minecraft.

It’s worth trying each of the following methods, as almost all cases can be resolved with them! However, if nothing works, it could indicate an issue with Mojang’s authentication. There should be a different error message for that, but many players report an invalid session whenever the system fails or is in maintenance mode.

1. Restart the Game / Launcher 🔄

The most popular method to fix the invalid session error is to restart Minecraft and the launcher. This usually resolves the issue, as restarting everything helps the authentication system. You just need to close the game and the launcher, then start them again. After that, join any server to see if it worked.

Recommendation ✔️: As an extra step, you can check that the game has completely closed in the task manager.

2. Log Out and Log Back In 🔐

If restarting doesn’t help, consider logging out of your Microsoft account and then logging back in. This method forces the system to recognize your credentials again, giving you the best chance to fix the "Invalid Session" problem in Minecraft. Make sure to use the same account when trying this solution.

Common Issue ⚠️: Sometimes, players forget their password when trying to log in again.

Solution ✔️: Make sure you have your password handy or use a password manager to avoid issues.

3. Create an Offline Server 🌐

In cases where nothing works and/or you have a cracked account, enable offline mode for the Minecraft server. This effectively bypasses the authentication system for logging connections, resolving the invalid session error.

Common Issue ⚠️: Offline servers may have limited functionality.

Solution ✔️: Only use offline servers as a last resort and be sure to understand the limitations.

How to Prevent Invalid Sessions in Minecraft? 🚫🔁

Once you’ve fixed the "Invalid Session" error in Minecraft, it’s ideal to prevent it from happening again. We strongly recommend avoiding launching multiple games simultaneously with different accounts, as this can cause the problem. Also, try using the “Direct Connect” method to join Minecraft servers, accessible in the Multiplayer area. Another way to avoid this error is not to keep the game open for too long without playing.

What is the ‘Invalid Session’ Error in Minecraft?

The invalid session error message in Minecraft is the result of issues with Mojang’s authentication system for your account. There doesn’t seem to be a direct cause for this, except that it sporadically affects players.
